The researcher would like to determine the overall school environment of the said institutions, degree of openness of the respondents in terms of principals' leadership behavior and teachers' behavior. The study would like to evaluate the relationship between the principals' openness behavior with the teachers' openness and vice versa. In view of the results, a proposed School Intervention Initiatives (SIIs) was provided to sustain and improve the school environment to achieve the vision and mission of the institutions. The descriptive correlation method was used based on the standard test of Revised Organization Climate Descriptive Questionnaire (OCDQ-RE) as the main gathering instrument. The results revealed that the principals' leadership behavior was supportive. On the other hand, the teachers' behavior was collegial. It was assessed that the over-all school environment was open, according to the teacher respondents.
